Federal law and state law are not the same. The fed gov may not do things that it has not been given the power to do.

Also, this is about inalienable rights because the right to keep your own property is an inalienable right and is in the constitution. This argument is trying to find the balance between the inalienable right to keep the fruits of ones labor under federal law against the wishes of society for the fed to provide health care which is not authorized in the constitution. Clearly the inalienable right trumps the unconstitutional wish.

Now if a state gov wanted to provide health care and its constitution allowed for that then that is a different story.
